Was just thinking about this yesterday...

Funny, and I'm here now, telling it.

About 2 yrs ago I met up w/some people who were dealing a little bit, mostly just throwin parties ect.. Some bonds grew over a yrs time and I was staying w/them,by now we were pretty deep in the game but thought nothing of it because"were just college kids, ofcourse we have alot of traffic in & out of here".

One night I took off to a club and called home later to a strange voice.When I asked for my boy they said he was in the room w/a girl and I should get back there right away.

When I asked who it was he kept sayin"whos this,were havin a party,get over here". I was worried so I asked $^&$^ to drive by the house.

There were cops EVERYWHERE!

I realized was on the phone W/DEA!

Found out later DEA had been on our phones for 2 months and heard everything.

They raided the house asking for certain people. 2ozs of coke went out the window,but they trashed the house,maced the dogs,gave everyone there(17ppl)anal cavity checks and found all types of loose items(30 rolls between the ppl,needles in the garbage,used foil, scales, anasital,ect..

They also took 4 disposeable cameras I had fuul of pics of EVERYTHING.

A few peeps tried to play up the food chain w/ the cops but most involved left the city not to be heard from since.

I went back to the house the next day and found a pill bottle w/4 blue nikes inside on the floor but all my illusions of dealing and freedom shattered.

All I lost were some good friends thanks to my timing but it could have been much worse!

LOL, not me!

That is crazy story mcd! Lucky you're alive and not incarcerated, here to even tell that one!!

I always say "all good things must come to an end" when it has to do with drugs and alcohol! No one gets away with this stuff, especially if they are dealing or using heavy ya know!

Are you sober today or struggling? Hope everything is better for you now!

Hey babydoll, I just noticed your question. Nope, not me. But I got stories to tell for sure!

I used to go to LOTS of clambakes. Not sure what they call them now. That's marijuana parties. Wow, that was a load of fun back then.

But I do have a question, not sure where to put it. Running out of time this morning - goofing off - gotta get going. So I'll put it here.

From my friend Tomas:
Im trying to find out if there is an easy way to tell the difference visually between smoking meth and these "bath salts" that we keep hearing about in a normal bubble meth pipe. (He's not from Abbeville area or he'd know about bath salts, lol)

Havent smoked meth in about 4 years and recently acquired a gram of, supposed to be, crystal meth. To me, it looks like I remember, a bag of crystalline shards of different sizes, no large pieces tho, the largest is about half the length of marlboro 100 cigarette filter.

Some of it looks pretty crushed up but still crystalline, not powdery.
Loaded a decent bowl, about .2 in the pipe and went to melt it. Melted as I remember and re-crystallized in a short period of time.

I took about 5 hits is a in 5 minutes, feeling as tho I remember from the past, instant rush and large, thick clouds of white smoke, apparently smoking meth is a skill not forgotten with the years, and the taste was not horrible or anything, but not a taste I remember, not terribly far off, perhaps that memory has long vanished from my mind.

Seemed legit at the time. I waited about 5 hours and took maybe 5 more big hits.... within an hour after that, became very paranoid, nervous, hearing things constantly and seeing movement out the corner of my eyes, for some reason frightened somebody was gonna come in my house, I knew i was just being paranoid so it kinda pissed me off because I couldnt stop the feeling of being unrealistically scared. I stayed up all night and thru the next day, without doing anymore, just like meth, i hear "bath salts" dont last as long.... something didnt seem right with the stuff tho, and for a few hours it was an unpleasant experience that pretty much pissed me off.

Ive felt this way before, but only after 4 days of doing meth with no sleep, maybe a gram a day, same feeling, same fear, but this was just a bowl.

I researched online and found that "bath salts" of various chemical names can to produce this same effect when used in large amount and or re dosing. I know there are kinds that can be smoked just like meth, turning to puddle then recrystallizing.

Is there any visual way to tell the difference between meth and certain "bath salts" when smoked in clean glass? I have no experience with these new chemicals, that may or may not look just like meth, do to very conflicting information everywhere. Cut with "bath salts" perhaps?

I was thinking of doing an acetone wash just in case, does anyone know if that will remove these possible other chemicals present, or just leave them behind, along with the meth, essentially doing nothing.

From MCD: Now, I know ya'll are a STOP DRUGS/ALCOHOL FORUM. but my friend is kinda worried. (I'm hoping he'll stay here once he gets his answer)
